Set in Oslo today, 'Phoenix' tells the story of Jill. From a young age, she has acted as the adult in her family.

Things seem to look up when Astrid lands a job interview and Jill works hard to support her mother and boost her self-esteem. The news that their estranged father, Nils, will be visiting on Jill's 14th birthday, gives the children much-needed hope.
